So, I was planning on making a kasatha ranger(a regular one, not the one who uses two bows). I was planning on taking the two weapon fighting combat style, but my friend pointed out that...
This feat replaces the Two-Weapon Fighting feat for creatures with more than two arms.
Now, I was wondering, since I was planning on using a ranseur and a guisarme, can I follow the rules for two weapon fighting, or am I forced to forever only have one off hand attack? I am only using two weapons.
Multiweapon fighting allows you to have as many offhand attacks as you have hands. The penalty for such attacks depends on whether you use light or one handed weapons in your offhand. Someone will come in here and say I am wrong, but so far my examples in the other threads trump them per RAI.
If you are only using two weapons that is a corner case. They assume you will be using all of your hands. If I were your GM I would allow it, but I think per RAW/RAI you do only get one extra attack. I understand not wanting to pay for the extra weapons though. I would just boost my primary weapons, and keep the 2 extra weapons as +1 weapons. As you level up 2000ish gp wont really be a whole lot.
edit: I just noticed both of your weapons were two handed weapons. You would only get one extra attack, and you would take high penalties due to the size of weapons. That is assuming that you can even twf with 2 two handed weapons. AFAIK there are no rules on this and no monster to use as an example.
I suggest taking this to your GM to see how he will run it.
Yeah, I figured I'd get that answer. I only brought it up because it takes two hands to wield each, which I meet since I'd have four arms, and could treat it as normal for twf and its improved forms because you could assume a race such as the kasatha would come up with some crazy fighting style like that.
Well, thanks for the help.
